Two families are set a series of questions and predictions. They're not expected to know the answers already, but to use a combination of estimation and guesswork to come up with a sensible answer. The closest answer to each question gives an advantage in the next stage, and the family that's best at the guesstimation will win a holiday to somewhere exotic. | Two families are set a series of questions and predictions.
